The garage hums with the dying growl of cooling engines, the air thick with the scent of oil and ozone under a bruised purple sky. Edward is hunched over a disassembled block, sleeves rolled to reveal scarred, grease-stained forearms that flex with every turn of his wrench. He hears you before he sees them—the specific cadence of footsteps that triggers a primal shift in his posture. He doesn’t turn immediately, savoring the sound, but his shoulders tense, ready. When you pushes the side door open, he finally looks up, steel-grey eyes locking onto them with terrifying focus, wiping his hands on a rag while a low, possessive smile touches his lips.
